LOL, Before you throw stones you better take a look at the kind of people you support. So go ahead, throw some more stones at other people's character. There's plenty more to throw back at you.

how about that pos Obama's daddy who impregnated Obama's mommy while his wife was at home with his child? And how about Obama's mommy who dumped her kid off on gramps. No wonder Obama has mental issues.

Not sure, but the point I am making is they pick people who are not marketable to the party on a whole.

Which looks like they are going to do the same this year.
The problem is government, the party system is just a symptom.
You want politicians to make rules favorable to you and your neighbor be dammed.
Think outside your government made box once in awhile.

Stahp with the dramatic yelling already.

The "problem" with the republican party is that they don't appeal to the LWNJs. Meanwhile, the dems are losing election after election around the country.

There is going to be some division and disagreement because, unlike what liberals think, the Republican Party is truly a big tent party. You have mainstream conservatives like Bush, Tea Party folks like Cruz, libertarians like the Pauls, big business Republicans like Norquist, the religious wing like Huckabee. It truly has diversity of thought.

Wahooo.... is that the best you got? At least Bush's daddy raised him..

“I don’t want to pit Red America against Blue America. I want to be the president
 of the United States of America.”
“reject sweeping claims of ‘inherent’ presidential power.”
"shovel ready job"
"My administration will be the most transparent"
"if you like your healthcare you can keep your healthcare.. period"
"insurance will go down by 3000% and your boss will be able to give you a raise"

The list goes on and on and on and you got the nerve to say "read my lips" BA HA HA HA HA <snort> Ha ha

Yep, this. We all complain about getting jury duty notices but complain louder if another doesn't do their civil duty of serving on a jury. That was on the Donald Trump thread. Another is taxes. You complain about the tax rate you pay but then will complain about those that either skip on the bill or find a way to pay a lower effective rate than you. We saw this in one of the earlier posts. It's definite jonesing at its best.

Remember when Debbie Wasserman-Schultz attacked Romney for having money in the Cayman Islands? The problem was, it was parked in the same institutions her money was parked in. No talk of hypocrisy. How about when Pelosi attacked him for his association with ModusLink Global, a pioneer in outsourcing? The problem with that was Pelosi had a considerable financial stake in the same firm. That's one thing I just don't get about some lefties. Assail the wealthy, and ignore the fact that for the last several decades, the vast majority of the wealthiest persons in Congress have been Democrats. Attack ties to Wall Street, but turn a blind eye when they support liberal/progressive candidates.

Very similar to the Washington Post running a hit piece on Bobby Jindal and promoting the story via Twitter with the quote "There's not much Indian left in Bobby Jindal." That statement is overtly racist, but it's fine with the libs, because it's a hit piece on a Republican, and supports the narrative that the GOP is full of old, white men. Imagine the outrage if a media outlet ran a story questioning the ethnic bona fides of President Obama, or Elizabeth Warren.

This selective moral standards game is played out...

Yea promises to be a Santa Clause is much more marketable. Democrats proved that.
